| C | Dialogues | Skills tested |
| A | OK. Let’s get started. We are going to discuss our exhibition. The topic is Men and Women in the 21st Century. We may talk about the change of men and women in physical appearance, fashion and their roles. Maybe we should talk about the physical appearance first. | Introduce the topic |
| A | I think the physical appearance will become very likely in the 21st century. There are many strong women nowadays! | Raise a point |
| B | Yes. There are many appliances including electronic appliances for people to be stronger. Some women can also get a stronger body with the help of these appliances. | Elaboration |
| D | Right. With scientific breakthrough, women will not be bounded by the inborn limitation on physical strength . They can have a much stronger body as men can! | Elaboration |
| C | Apart from women, men can also be changed. | Introduce a new aspect |
| A | Can you explain more? | Clarifying |
| C | Some women want to have a stronger body; on the other hand, men want to have a slimmer body. | Explaining |
| A | That means more people will have a neutral appearance. | Clarifying |
| C | Yes! | Agreeing |
| D | More people will tend to change their sexes as well with better and safer scientific breakthrough. | Raise a point |
| A | I think differently. Yes maybe more people will do that, but I think the majority will still prefer to remain on their own sex. The scientific breakthrough may not influence the change of sexes much. | Disagreeing |
| B | Yes . . So the physical appearance of men and women will be more neutral. They will have similar appearance, but they will not be mistaken their identity | Agreeing Elaboration |
| A | Yes. So we can discuss the change of physical appearance between men and women in the exhibition. | Raise a point |
| C | Are there any other ideas about the physical appearance? If there is no more further discussion on this topic, then we turn to talk about the fashion. | Shifting |
| A | OK. I think the fashion between men and women will become very similar as well. | Raise a point |
| B | I also think so. As we can see, men like to wear women’s clothing, like skirts or dresses. | Agreeing |
| D | Yes. With more open-minded men, fashion will not be divided into men’s or women’s. | Elaboration |
| A | Right. Apart from men, more women will tend to dress like men as well. | Raise a point |
| B | Women tend to wear trousers instead of skirts as trousers are more comfortable and warmer in winter. Other men’s clothing are simpler and more comfortable. Women will like to wear them in future. | Elaboration |
| A | So that means men will like to dress women’s clothing out of curiosity while women like men’s because they are comfortable. | Elaboration |
| B | I think so. As time passes by, people will not care which is suitable for men or women more. Fashion will become neutral as well. | Agreeing Elaboration |
| D | Right. | Agreeing |
| C | Actually I think differently . Although more clothing will be designed neutrally for both men and women, some will still be left for a particular sex. In my opinion, women will tend to dress sexier in the 21st century in order to show their inborn beauty. | Disagreeing Raise a new point |
| A | Mmm…yes, with the existing trend, women will dress sexier in future. They like to dress in a sexy way to attract others. | Agreeing Elaboration |
| B | Men will also attract others by dressing colourful clothing. | Raise a new point |
| D | Yes. In the past, men like to dress with black, white or grey. But in the 21st century, they will not like to try something fresh, that is the sharp colour. | Elaboration |
| A | OK. That means neutral fashion will be more popular in future, but fashion of particular men or women will still be designed. | Summary |
| B | Good. A part of the exhibition should then discuss this topic about fashion. | Raise a point |
| A | Ok. Let’s move to the next part. How will the social role of men and women change? Equality will be obviously noticed in the 21st century. | Shifting |
| B | I also think so. With the opening of women, many important posts are held by women now. | Agreeing |
| C | If one is talented, one will get the post, no matter if it is a man or a woman. | Elaboration |
| A | Yes. So the money earner of a family will not have to be the father. Women can also take this role. | Elaboration |
| B | Men can also be “house-husband”. Maybe they will do a better job than some women! | Elaboration |
| D | It is a sharp change in social roles between men and women. | Elaboration |
| C | Right. Actually there are many jobs that can be fitted for both men and women. For example,a nurse can be man or woman now. It is not ashamed for a man to be a nurse. | Right.
Raise a point |
| A | Yes. So the social role of men and women will be similar in the 21st century. But is there any particular job that can only fit men or women? | Elaboration Raise a question |
| D | I don’t think so. With stronger body for women and more caring heart for men, all jobs will be suitable for both sexes. | Raise a point |
| B | I also think so. Both men and women can enhance their ability on various ways with an open-minded society. | Agreeing Elaboration |
| A | OK. That means we should present that men and women will have equality in social role in the 21st century. | Summary |
| B | OK. So the exhibition should present the ideas that men and women will become alike in the 21st century in physical appearance, fashion and social role. | Conclusion |
| A | We should also point out that some difference between men and women will not change, like the body structure and fashion design. | Raise a point |
| C | Fashion will remain divided for men and women to have a wider diversification. | Elaboration |
| D | Yup. We can still recognize men and women in future. | Elaboration |
